The project proposes 6.1 million square feet of new industrial space on 683 acres west of the Atlanta Speedway Airport and Atlanta Motor Speedway. The applicant has requested a rezoning to light manufacturing (M-1).

The proposed site plan shows seven warehouses with road access from Lower Woolsey Road and Wilkins Road. No building construction is proposed within the airport runway approach nor within the site’s flood plains.

The future land use map supports the request because the board of commissioners approved changes to the area in October 2014. Planning staff recommends that the applicant and county government enter into a development agreement covering all necessary infrastructure improvements.

The results of a traffic study are not yet available. The study will examine present-day traffic volumes and recommend road improvements to support the proposal.
